Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten. – Neil Gaiman
You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when were doing it. – Neil Gaiman
I started out writing much more science fictiony stuff and writing about science fiction. – Neil Gaiman

Chesterton, “The Ethics of Elfland,” Orthodoxy
